A freight train on the X. & O.
jumped the track, near Beech Hill,
Friday, and the passenger train
was detained all day, thereby losing
a trip to Toledo. The wreck was a
a bad one, but no one was hurt.
1t was caused by the breaking OF
some rotten ties, of which this road
abounds. The train from Toledo
did not get in Friday night until
ten o'clock, being some five hours
late.

He was Making Good Progress Toward
Wadelai Late In duly.
ST. PAUL DE LoANDA, Oct 2.A-According
news received at Bona from the upper Congo.
Stanley was pushing forward. and the only diff
fculties he met with were thenatural obstacles
Of the country. About July IS the expedition
had assembled the Aruwimi River to the ele:
waited country belonging to the Mabode dis
trict The river becoming too narrow, they
left the RATS. and the men for several days had
to carry double burden OF provisions The
steel whaleboat was carried past tho narrows
and again launched.
Stanley calculated that upon arriving at the
summit OF the table lands giving shape to the
basin Of the Aruwimi the expedition would
halt two days for q rest. and would establish
camp there to be garrsoned by twenty men
with q European officer. The districts
traversed we're tranquil, and little difficulty
Vas experienced in obtaining provisions from
averaged twenty Kilometres daily.
Tippu lib. In his last message. wrote that he
acknowledgements. He Had gained the good will
Of several neighborfnc chiefs. Owing to tho
disturbed state of the country Tippu lib could
not, as he had agreed to, organize q revictual-
ling caravan to despatch direct to Albert
possible. Disquiet continued between Stanley
Falls and the confluence of the ,Aruwimi and
LACED. Il Is believed that the garrison which
Stanley left at Yambuga has been forced to in
terfere to maintain order In tho neighborhood.

was summoned, and when she saw the boy she
shrieked enough to break up the service and

Visit to Germany.
BERLIN, Oct. 2.-The Italian Ambassador
to Germany has gone to Friedrichsruhe
PARIS. Oct. 2.-The Obswpdte,r says 1t be-
lieves that Prince Bismarck has submitted to
the Vatican and Qurinal proposals regarding
the Roman question, which will shortly be car
ried into effect. and that 1t Is In consequence
OF these proposals that Signcr Crispi has como
to Friedrichsruhe; The interview, 1t says. will
be OF great Interstate Importance.
The Ifibuna says that Prince Bismarck's in
yttation to Signor Crispi for. a conference at
Friedrichsruhe was eouched In terms that
were friendly to the Prime Minister and fiat
fering to Italy. SiGnor Crispi had a conference
with King Humbert, and then accepted the in
yitation. His Journey. the Tfibuna says, af
fords much satisfaction to italian statesmen.
The Itdie says the interview Is important,
but not unexpected as Italy has lately en-
tered Into an alliance With Austria and Ger
many on an equal footing with. tho two
empires, and In view Of Count Kalnoky's meet
ing with Prince Bismarck it IL only natural
that signor orispi should confer with the Chan

OF Europe, not to prepare for war
The Retorna denies that the object OF Signor
Grispi's visit to Bismarck Is to conciliate the
